You can just look at what addresses from that range have left the network in any given 24 hour window.

If AAAA is constantly reaching our to aussie.zone one day, and the next day AAAB is reaching out to that address you can pretty easily connect the dots.

We turn it off in our office. It doesn’t benefit us.

You could also make the argument that ipv4 through NAT is better for privacy since it obfuscate what, and how many devices are connected to where.

If it wasn’t for lossless music, and storing about 75 gigs of drone footage on my phone I don’t use a lot of my storage typically. The 256 default is enough for me. But since I imported this phone I just said fuck it and went for the 1TB model and I’m sure as hell gonna use that storage. Apps bloating to use a shit ton of storage? Fuck it I don’t care.

Also I’ve always hated having the two tier storage for my phone. When 64 gig SD cards were a lot for a phone I had one and I hated it. It was only good for music, and offloading some photos. But it was always a pain getting most photo apps to recognize and treat each folder as one unified library so I’d always have half of my photos “inaccessible”. My last phone with an SD card slot was my galaxy note 3 from about the same time. After that I just started buying phones with enough built in storage.

Scaled sorting is what caused that issue. Active or hot don’t really have that issue since they’re more likely to show slightly older but highly voted things. VS scaled which will just dump all 20 posts from one person even though nobody has voted on them.

There’s a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.

The topics weren’t an issue. The issue is more with Lemmy’s sorting algorithm not being great.

I think I’ve blocked one or two people on lemmy. Only because they like to spam posts all at once and it will fill up an entire page with just their shit.

Outside of that I’ve never blocked anyone, nor do I ever really want to block anyone.

The kernel is linux. From wikipedia: An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

Linux being designed to work with so many things (and so many things designed to work with linux) all combined make the OS. This is also where the famous quote comes from. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/incorrect-quotation.en.html

Pro or Home? It looks like home is going to try to force you into a microsoft account a lot harder than pro. There are a couple of tricks to bypass it in the OOBE. But if you do sign into an MS account you can go into settings and there’s a button somewhere to switch to a local account. You’d just have to seek that out and it’s a pain.

I actually really liked both windows 8 and Vista too.

8 was slimmed down and optimized vs 7. Bootup time on my HDD equipped machine halved, performance was better, and the search was so good I never actually saw the start menu because I’d just blindly hit enter and it opened what I wanted.

Vista had a rough start because they basically had to start fresh with drivers. But I bought a nice new machine about a year after it came out and it ran it flawlessly. Aero looked (and still looks) so cool, and XP was just a crusty old OS by then, let alone 2014 when it finally lost support.

I gotta be honest, I actually really like windows 11.

Recall is awful and I hope enough pressure keeps it away (or at least as something you have to manually turn on). But besides that it’s mostly just windows 10 but better. I get better battery life, better performance, I actually mostly like the UI changes etc.

Also does nobody remember all of the hate for 10 when it first came out?

Netbird does some things better than Tailscale. But honestly tailscale is just so much better. It takes a much more “it just works” approach which for our office we much prefer. It was so much more fiddly and just awful.

Netbird also kept pissing me off because we’d have a route to the office, and if you’re in the office it would just kill all network traffic as it tries to go to itself instead of the default gateway and just never works. Tailscale kinda has the same issue, but it doesn’t end up in an endless loop it just routes all your traffic in the office through the VPN.

You wouldn’t happen to be from Ohio?

If you’re hosting a basic web 1.0 website you’re gonna be pretty safe. Just install Apache and call it a day. As long as there’s no exploits in apache and you only port forward for basic HTTP theres very little to go wrong. Plus realistically, who’s gonna want to hack your site?

I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.

fuckwit+lemmy@gmail.com

Now if I get a spam email to that address I’ll know exactly what to block.

Self host isn’t that bad. Say you have a raspberry pi. Install linux on the pi (basically the only thing to do with it), then google how to set up a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php/python). Once you’ve followed all the steps they list then now you have a web server. To get it out on the internet log into your router and port forward for HTTP and now anyone can see that glorious Apache default web page.

Then for a domain just find the first domain register and buy the domain from them. Once you own a domain point it towards your IP address (just google what is my IP) and you’re set.

Your web page is now on the internet and anyone can type a nice name to get to your page. Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.

Yeah I wana know what kind of hosts they found Jesus.

so I guess it’s not a conspiracy.

It’s not a theory* it is a conspiracy.

There’s only one windows desktop enviroment, window manager, etc. Same for Mac OS.

With Linux damn near everything can change depending on your distro of choice. There’s no one “linux” that you install. Linux is just the kernal and everything is piled on top of to make the entire OS.

IDK about that. Honestly it seems like a lot of the assholes just went here.
